Hunters -- You Can Help the Hungry
CONCORD, N.H. -- If you've had a successful
hunting season and your freezer is chock full of meat, why not share the
fall harvest with New Hampshire's hungry? Hunters can help the less fortunate
by donating meat to the "Hunt for the Hungry" program coordinated
by the New Hampshire Food Bank in Manchester. The program collects donations
of whole or processed game animals for distribution to more than 270 food
pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters and group homes statewide.
Last year, Hunt for the Hungry took in more than 1,300
pounds of donated deer, bear, moose, duck and other game meat. The program
offers packaging instructions and can pick up donations. To donate
game meat, call Michele Garron of the New Hampshire Food Bank at (603)
669-9725.
